[Eyes rolled, even if them being pure black made it hard to tell, but boy did it hang in his voice a bit.]

You're hardly any better.

[He tied thread for the first, and then went to start on he second deep slice just the same as he had the first. A little warning with a tap of his finger before piercing skin and keeping a steady hand.]

Nope, that's a new one. He's a lawyer, apparently.
steadypulse: (But here we are)

[There was that hiss of pain with how tender those ribs were yet again, and a swat with the hand not holding a needle in retaliation for it. Asshole.]

Doesn't make them nonexistent, smartass.

[Fingers were idly rubbing skin as he noticed the twitching, some bit of distracting and more soothing touch even if it wouldn't really do that much. Was an old habit whenever he had to do stitches without having something to numb localized pain.

Corner of his mouth twitched the tiniest bit at the hiss then.]


When I met him, he was running a bar with an underground fight ring. Don't think I've got to worry about that.

[Second chance? At what? This wasn't a second chance, just some side-track where he hadn't signed up for being flung in to a second world. No, this was finishing a job that he'd started so he could get back to the mission.]

I'm not the one moping here, and I can take care of myself.

[Just keeping it to the most basic of tasks. This was a dream, and his body was elsewhere; why waste the effort on just a fraction of himself? Real as everything felt and acted with the passing of time, he'd heal and deal with things as they came.

He tugged the thread tight, careful and slow, as fingertips still worked out of habit to distract and soothe as it pulled to close the wound. All the better to secure it and break the end of the thread.]


Someone else was the bar tender. He hasn't taken up any job here, nothing like that at least.
steadypulse: (I'm not your father)

Keep myself running, doesn't matter outside of that.

[And was no concern of Reaper's, which was what struck him over the fact that the man was actively checking up on him here. That he made himself not think too much on-

Which was made that much more difficult given the promise of a threat earlier.

76 sat back on his knees, going through the practiced motions of cleaning the needle he'd used so it could be put back in the kit, along with the thread put aside to be further dealt with later.]


He owned the bar, ran the business and the fight club underneath it.

[Not answering what he was doing there, of course.]
steadypulse: (... This shit again. Really?)

I've looked worse, and actually dead.

[The entire "Essence" had made him some chimeric undead creature after all, but he was remaining vague over a... lot of details.

He glanced up then, and held a hand out for the bandaging Reaper had dug out. The look alone said very clearly 'It's easier for me to do it' and it wasn't like he'd be wrong. They both knew it.]


Mm, even if it was less a club and more a ring where the fights could be bet on.

[He might have spent a lot of down time there-] Not how I met him, of course.
steadypulse: (This is probably one of them. Probably)

[personal profile] steadypulse 2021-11-29 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
The world I was in before being thrown in to this one. It's why I'm familiar with working with shadow, too.

[Why he even gave out the information he did, not knowing how death might work here and just- avoid that for whoever he could. You felt it every single time, even if coming back from it. It clung.

He took that bandaging and paused for a brief moment-]
Be easier if you had the shirt off, too. [Leaving that with that, even was he worked to find the end of the bandaging from the roll it was kept in.]

Time.
steadypulse: (The fuck you even talking about now)

[personal profile] steadypulse 2021-11-29 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Just because it's temporary doesn't change it.

[He remembered drowning, so used to not needing to worry about it that it had slipped his mind until it was too late, and no matter how hard he'd fought what had gotten a hold of him-

76 let out a breath.]
Fine. After I get your bandaging wrapped, I'll take off my own. [Compromise- because if he did it before the man would likely get distracted from sitting still.]

Took up a job at his bar as the cook.
steadypulse: (With this)

[personal profile] steadypulse 2021-11-29 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
[76 didn't answer right away, sitting on his knees and instead act as if he wasn't going to.

Rather, he watched Reaper remove the shirt- the fact the mask came off was also a surprise, letting his gaze linger briefly. Didn't look bad, honestly. White hair looked good on the bastard. Even if he probably didn't always look like that, if Ana's reaction was anything to go by, but still.

The look fit.

He only spoke once he started the bandaging, wrapping to protect the stitching and allow the not so deep cuts to heal]


Last one remember- [Implying it might not have been the first.] Water my lungs after burning for air. I couldn't get to the surface because I'd been knocked under water and swarmed by too many things to fight off alone. Bleeding and attracting more.

I don't know how long it lasted. [Drowning was horrible, and he'd clearly been aware the entire time. Could imagine what was being left unsaid as he looped some under Reaper's opposite arm before returning to help anchor it in place.]

Gave me something to do, when not in the fighting ring.

[Amongst other hobbies he took up.]
steadypulse: (This is probably one of them. Probably)

[There was no judgement, and no shying away. Fingers brushed scars and burn alike in the movements of steady and firm hands in his task. Smoothing a hand over bandage and skin alike to make sure it would lay in place correctly as possible. Some scars he'd already known, and the new ones with the burns were no surprise.

He carried the same.

Hands slid under some bandaging to make sure nothing twisted, and it wasn't being wrapped too tightly. Brought palms and fingers over burns, scars, and otherwise bare skin, movement slow and showing more the appearance didn't deter him, didn't hurry to get it over with but rather wanted to take the time to make sure the job was done right.]


Brain makes it all seem longer, slow motion even as it goes black. Feeling every burn and ache, and teeth digging in to skin. [He'd been attacked the entirety of it. Losing blood, losing strength, even as he drowned. Being ripped at, torn in to, making it not just a simple drowning.

Point was? It still clung to him, enough he remembered details, the feeling. He knew, he understood.

76 breathed a quiet thanks at Reaper moving hair out of the way as he worked, having made sure his hand passed under it, but it kept falling back in the way.]


There was too much down time, and hunting it an occasional spar did little. So I fought a lot of orcs, assholes the lot of them were. Satisfying fights, at least. Hit heavier than Reinhardt.
steadypulse: (... This shit again. Really?)

Reformed on a beach, dry. Gasping for air, and covered in healing wounds. Happened quickly because it was within a story specific world. [He had simply reformed, body having vanished within the water itself after a bit. Still remembering he had died, and left with the proof of it even if-] Lungs still burning.

[He tugged at bandaging then, making sure everything was in place and moving wouldn't cause it all to slip. Not too tight, getting a hand under what looked around Reaper's other side as well. Fingers gliding back to the shoulder to be sure there was enough 'padding' for the stitched and unstitched wounds themselves before he let his hands fall away.

Should be enough movement allowance there as well.]


He might. They were as big as him, too. [He never did well being made to keep to one place, having too much time on his hands, and so he did whatever he could to fill it.]
steadypulse: (So look at all the glory)

[personal profile] steadypulse 2021-11-30 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Peter Pan. Story Eater had disguised itself as Peter Pan. [A reason he'd made a point in his own message speaking of Erasers and the like, at least to some, that it wasn't just story villains it would disguise as; bring Erasers right along with it-] I don't know, the battle was still going. Like a phantom pain, my brain remembers more than my body does.

[76 had already ditched his own space that Reaper had basically forced him to show, and didn't expect him to use this one again either. They'd keep this up until they ran out of places.

He sat back on his knees, letting Reaper do his own inspection since 76 had finished.]


Always will, unfortunately for him. [Man wasn't getting any younger, and he'd already had one devastation after another when it was out of Morrison's hands to stop the forced retirement. After Ana's "death" in the field.

There was some low growl under his breath, but more at himself when he realized finishing up meant- well. Keeping his side of their little agreement. At last he could get fingers under the hem of his shirt, pulling the compressive material upwards and over his head. Letting it fall where he'd dropped his own jacket and mask, hands rubbing along forearms idly.

Of course his own body was littered with scars, some far older than others. Burn scars covered his torso as well, large and gone mostly untreated; most were on his back, a few wrapped around one side near a hip. Pants hid the rest of them still.

There was, however, uneven stitches on one side holding together a wound that nearly looked fresh if it wasn't for the necrotic skin there. Branching lines, going from the small of his back and over the side to his stomach. Right where the asshole in front of him shot him.]
steadypulse: (The hell are you going on about punk)

Hook figured it out, and actually came to help fight it despite having already tussled with the thing. [Of course 76 had ended up dressed as a pirate for the mot obvious of reasons, given the story. At some point in a mess of confusion it had nearly been Aspect against Aspect, but- well. Things had gone in their favor with the Story Eater having to pull a last ditch effort and rip a hole in reality.] Yeah.

[The corruption was definitely on more than just arms and face, his shoulders completely blackened the same as arms and hands, it spiderwebbing it's way across his chest and neck. There was a solid line of it going down along his spine, vanishing up to his hairline where it went up along the back of his neck.

It traced his ribs, curved over hips and vanished where it clearly went underneath his pants line. Those were not coming off, he'd only agreed to the shirt for obvious reasons.

There was still a bit of a hiss, the only indication that that wound still hurt even after all this time.]
Ana did her best there, and Zeigler couldn't even get it to heal.

[Guess who had dragged him there.]
